These include credential harvesting, keylogging, file manipulation, and network tunneling. The malware specifically focuses on extracting critical credentials such as tokens, configuration files, and authentication tokens from high-value files. QLNX can install itself from memory, uses multiple methods to persist on the host, and conceal &#8211; The generated text has been blocked by our content filters.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quasar Linux RAT Steals Developer Credentials for Software Supply Chain Compromise https:\/\/thehackernews.com\/2026\/05\/quasar-linux-rat-steals-developer.html Publish Date: 2026-05-08&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":216157,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiholjenZRIykmReErkRiguk5xd9RV4BIEEPM0nT-o3LvMvDkCTLpd3G0NpqDGEFHp-f6QyvGRMip6CBhGlllYVlp9wS3XBVoV6xW47CDka7Ig8S_aotcuNlmAv3SYgS4hJzxjLp2nrV4SzqlTXnQLG_w68Cq0Bf5hiOoV6CaN9QZliRDa-StzsvIkJAdSF\/s1700-e365\/kube.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[32],"class_list":["post-216155","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-malware"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216155"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=216155"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216155\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":216159,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216155\/revisions\/216159"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/216157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=216155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=216155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=216155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
